“For a human being tends to believe that the mood of the moment, be it troubled or blithe, peaceful or stormy, is the true, native, and permanent tenor of his existence: and in particular he likes to exalt every happy chance into an inviolable rule and to regard it as the benign order of his life-whereas the truth is he is condemned to improvisation and morally lives from hand to mouth all the time.”
Thomas Mann, “A Man and His Dog”, 1918.
